The background and the brown-gold-white bit of the horse's color were inspired by: http://i.dramacrazy.net/autums_concerto2.jpg
The pink and the dissolving-into-petals were inspired by: http://www.japanforum.com/gallery/data/513/Gackt1.jpg
And lastly, the harness and overall bright colors were inspired by carousel horses and their overall inspiring color displays. ^^
Hope you enjoy it, Tofu!
